2828 I Am Reluctant To Explain Everything That I Do (1/2)

She swallowed the pill, but it tasted different again. This time, it was bitter. Gu Xijiu was certain that the pill was identical to the one she had consumed before. So, perhaps her body was the problem. She somehow felt that her sense of taste had changed.

She looked at Di Fuyi and caught him looking at her in an unusually casual manner. The look in his eyes was not entirely friendly, though. ”Divine Lord, what happened to you in the Monster Kingdom was all part of my plan, but it worked, didn't it? Thanks to me, your servant and disciple are now safe.”

Hesitantly, Gu Xijiu answered, ”I agree, so I did not blame you on that.”

Di Fuyi smiled but made no further comment on the incident. ”However, I still felt the need to give you something in recognition of your loss, so I dived into the deep Earthsea and risked my life to secure this Candle Dragon's egg, all for the sake of your health and wellbeing. I have not told you about its nutrients, have I? The Candle Dragon is a treasure. Every part of its body, from its scales to its bones, is enough to nourish one's vitality and nurse one's body. However, the Candle Dragon I encountered was essentially Yang, which is incompatible with your body of Yin. Its bone and flesh will not work for you. It can possibly cause more harm than good. Therefore, I decided to take its egg instead. The egg is either Yin or Yang, so it is perfect for your recuperation.”

Gu Xijiu was shocked. She did not know that she was the reason he went all the way to steal the egg. However, she still had some doubts. ”How did you know that we were going to meet?”

Di Fuyi replied sarcastically, ”I planned to visit you in Tianyin Valley after I survived the challenges in Earthsea. I planned to take you all the way here to this glacier and give this egg to you as a gift.”

”Why must I eat the egg here?”

”Its effect can only be put to use here.”

Gu Xijiu did not know what to say.

”Why didn't you say so earlier?” If she knew, she would not have cast a spell on him.

”I am reluctant to explain everything that I do. I will do what is best and make no regrets. Bragging about my achievement is not my style.” It was his way of dealing with things.
